Continuous Detention Of Nnamdi Kanu And Dasuki: Did FG Flout Any Law? by TonyeBarcanista(m): 9:40pm On Dec 31, 2015 |
Since the pronouncement of Buhari justifying Nnamdi Kanu and Sambo Dasuki's detention, some people have gone public to abuse the President and seeking to score cheap point. Has Buhari or DSS really violated the law in Kanu and Dasuki's trial? On Nnamdi Kanu's Continuous Detention Firstly, I want to make some clarification. At no time did any court "free or clear" Mr Nnamdi Kanu of any charge against him. What Justice Ademola of the FHC(Abuja) did was to vacate the order it first granted to DSS to detain Kanu for three months. The court vacated the order on the ground that it was unconstitutional to hold a suspect in detention for more than three months without charging such suspect to court. In the words of the learned judge; "From the available facts before the court, it is clear that the DSS either enough materials to prosecute the applicant in a law court or yet to make up their mind on prosecution. What the DSS simply did was to detain Kanu and file case in court on charges that borders on treason. In other words, Kanu is no longer being detained without trial as it was before. It is left for him to argue his innocence with the judge. If the DSS had breached the court ruling, the judge would have summoned them for contempt. Did Kanu Really Commit Treason? What constitute treason in Nigeria? The offence of treason can be found in sections 37 to 49 of the Nigeria criminal code. According to section 37(1) of the Nigeria criminal code; Any person who levies war against the State, in order to intimidate or overawe the President or the Governor of a State, is guilty of treason, and is liable to the punishment of death. Section 37(2) further stated that Any person conspiring with any person, either within or without Nigeria, to levy war against the State with intent to cause such levying of war as would be treason if committed by a citizen of Nigeria, is guilty of treason and is liable to the punishment of death:. Through radio biafra, Kanu preached inciting messages and even went as far as soliciting for arms with intent to wage war against the State. This was captured in a video that has gone viral. I think that breached section 37(2) of Nigeria criminal code(in my opinion). It is however left for the judge to make pronouncement. 310 Likes 40 Shares |

On Colonel Sambo Dasuki... Did the DSS contravene any law or disobeyed the court by re-arresting Sambo Dasuki? I don't think so. The Court judgement of December 21 granted Sambo Dasuki and others bail in a N9billion fraud case. Though Dasuki and others were released from prison after meeting bail condition, he was re-arrested after stepping out of prison. We have to note that the bail was respected by the DSS but unfortunately for him(Dasuki), the judgement of the court didn't grant him any immunity from further arrest. Hence, the government committed no offence in re-arresting him. But why is he even looking for bail when he should be more concerned with clearing his name as regards the $2.2billion arms fund that he allegedly looted with his friends? Why should a "big thief" be using bail to walk free while a poor man languish in prison for years on "awaiting-trial"? I think the government should be encouraged to re-arrest him each time he's granted bail. I don't believe in abuse of the law but I believe that people should be encouraged to keep off from crimes while the government must be encouraged to fight alleged criminals with the law irrespective of who the perpetrator is. It is my opinion that Messrs Kanu, Dasuki and others should prepare their defence and prove their innocence before the judge. May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria Happy New Year 2016 431 Likes 48 Shares |

Only a mischievous person would disagree with your points...it is clear that Kanus new charges of treasonable felony have not yet been heard...in other words...it's premature to accuse the government of disobeying the courts... ![]() 152 Likes 15 Shares |

Detention of the Dilector of IPOD is universally justified. I thought some of his supporters here were saying he is brave and were beating the chest that no one would dare touch him if he comes to the Zoo. Here is he being detained in the net. Continuous rearrest of Father Xmas is also justified. 97 Likes 9 Shares |

I have come to realise that the so called enlighten Nigerians choose to read and hear whatever suites them, i have seen mischivious elements in the mainstream manipulate contents with total unconnected headlines. I have always wondered if there is a law that says a suspect can't be rearrested for fresh charges after bail God bless the OP for this piece. Happy new year Nigerians. 165 Likes 20 Shares |

I see you have a personal vendetta with this kanu issue hence you are always quick to defend illegality hiding under the veil of rationality and correctness to ease your anger and loathe for kanu. Please what can u say in the case of Radio kudirat,Lawal Kaita,Oba akiolu, junaid mohammed and other northern elements who have voiced more outragoeus and treasonable comments than this kanu you so wish to go down. Are this persons i mentioned more Nigerian than Kanu. Why is he singled out even when there are video evidences and documented records of the provocative and divisive comments by this other Nigerians. What were your positions then. Even our current presido was known to have made greater inciting comments leading to the death of hundreds post 2011 elections, why wasnt he charged for treason. Its well with Nigeria Happy new year all. Wishing you the best 2016 has to offer 114 Likes 16 Shares |

Amitex:Radio Kudirat was promoting democracy calling for the illegal government of Abacha to step aside and handover to the elected MKO Abiola. Radio Chanji: Honestly I didn't listen to their broadcast. Please you may enlighten me. Parallel government statement was inciteful but treasonable? I don't think so. 83 Likes 5 Shares |

@Tonybarcanista. Ar u a lawyer or a judge? How a can you call Dasuki a "big thief" when a competent court of law have not yet found him guilty. Please be careful., and in another development how can you say mr Nnamdi Kanu was begging for arms to wage war against Nigeria. Do u have evidence of that? Again please make proper research and come up with facts and figures here, so that u don't mislead anybody here. Thanks and hope u understand. 46 Likes 5 Shares |

TonyeBarcanista: God bless you Barcanista.... I have been wondering whether I was really the crazy one when I raised this question to a friend recently. What law has the FG through the DSS broken by charging these suspects for other crimes and rearresting them after their release? Is it that Nigerians are just illiterate to understand these elementary things or is it emotions that has eroded the ability to reason straight?.... The only problem I have is the inability of the governement to communicate properly with the nation on these issues especially from the legal angle. Sometimes I wonder what the job of the presidential spokespersons, the minister of information, the DSS and EFCC spokespersons and the ministry of justice spokespersons are. Lalasticlala, Seun, it would be nice if a larger audience gets to see and reason this issue from a different angle. 39 Likes 8 Shares |
